21.10.2014DNAL1 antibody (pAb) Rabbit Anti -Human/Mouse/Rat Dynein Axonemal Light Chain 1 Instruction Manual Catalog Number PK-AB718-4733 Synonyms DNAL1 Antibody: Dynein axonemal light chain 1 Description DNAL1 was identified as a potential candidate gene for primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a genetically heterologous disorder characterized by chronic infections of the upper and lower airways that often leads to permanent lung damage, randomization of left/right body symmetry, and reduced fertility. DNAL1 is reported to be expressed solely in tissues carrying motile cilia for flagella and interacts with DNAH5, a protein that when mutated has been shown to result in PCD. It has been suggested that DNAL1 serves a regulatory function for DNAH5 activity in outer dynein arms of sperm flagella, respiratory cilia, and ependymal cilia. DNAL1 has also been recently identified as an HIV dependency factor (HDF), suggesting that DNAL1 may be an important drug target in HIV treatment. At least two isoforms of DNAL1 are known to exist. Quantity 100 µg Source / Host Rabbit Immunogen DNAL1 antibody was raised against a 17 amino acid peptide from near the carboxy terminus of human DNAL1. Purification Method Affinity chromatography purified via peptide column. Clone / IgG Subtype Polyclonal antibody Species Reactivity Human, Mouse, Rat Specificity Formulation Antibody is supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide. Reconstitution During shipment, small volumes of antibody will occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial. For products with volumes of 200 μl or less, we recommend gently tapping the vial on a hard surface or briefly centrifuging the vial in a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container’s cap. Storage & Stability Antibody can be stored at 4ºC for three months and at -20°C for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures. Applications E, WB, ICC |Note: Antibody might be suitable for other applications not tested so far. Optimal concentrations for each application have to be determined indivudually. DNAL1 antibody can be used for detection of DNAL1 by Western blot at 1 - 2 µg/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunocytochemistry starting at 2.5 µg/mL. Images Available upon request. References Horvath J, Fliegauf M, Olbrich H, et al.
